PITTSBURG, Oct. 8—The heavy fog that greeted the visitors and local fans lor tb«- worlds' championship series here early today, resulted In one death, the wrecking of an automobile and the injury of four men. The streets were dark as midnight until nine o'clock this morning, and all lights were ablaze. All records for baseball will be broken.The city was wrapped In a fog this morning, but the weather is Ideal for baseball. By the time the game is (Milled the last vestige of the fog will have cleared away. At noon yesterday many were already waiting In the line leading to the ticket seller's window, and the line continued to grow until the early morning hours. Many slept on the curb stones, or leaned against a wall or any other ov iliable place, just bo it was near the window. By United Press. PITTSBURG, OetV 8.—The sleepling hundreds who were waiting all I night at the gate outside of Forbes Field were roused this morning by the police, and took their place in line to buy the first seats for the bleachers for the first game In the world's championship series. ICarly this morning twenty-live hundred rooters from Detroit arrived and paraded 'n the down-town streets, headed by a band. They then visited at the hotel where the Detroit players are stopping, and later headed for Willi a Delightful Function.Young Ladles Open the Social Season I The J. F. F. Club, of this place, I which consists of twenty-two young ladles, last night opened their social se iMoa with a dance in Zeitler's Hall. Twenty-five couples wei'c present and from nine until one o'clock they danced, with the Graff Brothers furnishing the best of music for t!i«* occasion. Light refreshments were served throughout the evening. The young ladies who constitute the J. F. F. Club gained an enviable reputation l ist year as entertainers, and if last night's function is to be considered a sample of what is to follow, they bid fair to oudo even themselves as entertainers. TOUR LAST CHANCE The matter is now under advisement with Mr. Corhctt, of Brookville, the company's solicitor, and tin- commltteemen from council hope to reach an agreement In the near future. If no agreement is reached, the council will go ahend and build tin' bridge and institute proceedings to recover half of tin- cost from the company. The Bubeck addition residents who agreed to construct the approach between the overhead and the county bridges, are being held up, owing to the fact that the work cannot be done until the overhead bridge is constructed, giving them access with teams for hauling in the material. Solicitor Gillespie cites an act of assembly which compels the railroad company to pay half the cost of the bridge. The council could build i|%<• bridge and compel the railroad company to pay half, but the borough lawmakers wish to have an amicable agreement with the company before the building of the bridge is started, thus avoiding a suit. The residents of the Bubeek addition are patiently awaiting the time when the bridge recently constructed across Mahoning Creek, connecting that addition with the town prosper, will be made accessible for driving. Council agreed to have tin- overhead bridge up when the county tinixhed the construction of the bridge and has been endeavoring to get something done. MAURI CERTEi) WEDDING The train, leaving here at 7:14 for Pittsburg, carried about twenty-five who went down for the big game. Before leaving. Mr. Sullivan announced that he was going to take his bunch out to Forbes Fielf about eleven o'clock In the morning so that there would be no doubt about there being In when the game started. A few went down who intended to take chances with the bleacherites. It would have undoubtedly been wisdom for that crowd to have gone down yesterday afternoon. About four hundred bleacherites1 camped on the scene all night, and five o'clock this morning there were enough on hand to fill up all the available fifty cent seats. Adams will pitch this afternoon's game for Pittsburg, while Mullin will be on the slab. for Detroit. Many big wagers have been placed on the series at 2 to 1 with the odds on Pittsburg, but few hets are down for the opening flven more none prevailing where wagers were made. When the morning flyer pulled out of this place shortly after four o'clock this morning, there was an extra coach tacked on, and in that coach there were nearly one hundred Punxsutawneyltes, who went down to the Smoky City to whoop it up for the Pirates. Tn Tim Sullivan's groundhog buneh there were fifty who will occupy one block of seats In the second and third rows of the second balcony. Nearly every other man who left here to take In the big g-ame likewise Is a member of the Groundhog Club, so that the Weather Bureau will be well represented.8 COW WEIGH 17 POUNDS The dormitory is an institution connected with the Y. M. <\ A. that is not so well known as it should be, and which is destined t«> till one of the needs of the town. While the dormitory is planned to be a revenue producer for the Association, it is also intended to provide for young men away from home a place of abode wherein they will have only good company and clean and helpful environment. The local Association dormitory is small, having only ten bedrooms, five of which are already occupied. Hut it Is up to date In every respect, the beds and furniture being of the best, the rooms of ample size, with finished hardwood flors, and a pair of rugs t«> each room.

The occupants of the dormitory have access to all the privileges of the building, and on the whole are well taken care of. Tbrf' rents are so reasonable as to be ifihtin the reach of all who have employment. W.J. BOOM DAUG CONGRESS Olio Orchard in Central Washington Will Yield $2,000 Worth. SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 8—This Is something about a big yield of apples in the Wenatehee valley, in central Washington, where L. W. Smith has an acre orchard which will net him $-.000 this season. The trees, nine years old, are of the Wineaap variety. His holding is confined to four acres of bearing treesi which yielded $3,3(i5 worth of fruit in 1908 and $3,500 worth the previous season. He has left 120 trees bearing Winesaps, which will yield from 12 to 15 boxes each; 40 Mammoth Black Twigs, each cropping from 10 to 12 boxes and 40 trees bearing Hen Davis apples, which 111 yield not less than five boxes each. There are numerous small orchards in the same valley which made relatively good showings, none so high as the Smith tract. SeW-ral orchardfsts in the Yakima valley also report exeep-' tionally large yields, but on the whole the crop in Washington, and in fact, the Northwest, is short, though the apples are of excellent color ami size, thus making up the losses by increased market values. Judge Llndsey, tells the story of his early life in the October "Everybody's Magazine," and it is evident that the now famous author and lecturer had a very modest place in the beginning of his career. lie says: "1 went to work at a salary of ten dollars a month in a real estate office—as office boy—and carried a 'route' of newspapers in the morning before the office opened, and did janitor work at night when it closed. After a month of that, I got a better place, as office boy with a mining company, at a salary of twenty-live dollars a month. And finally my younger brothelr found work in a law office, and I 'swapped jobs' with him—because 1 wished to study law!" THREE CLASSES GAVE DRILL AT IM. C. A. Five hundred tickets will be placed on sale, and if they sell with undue rapidity, the lecture will be held in the Jefferson Theatre. If the sale does not warrant this, the lecture will lie given in the Baptist Church, which will seat seven hundred. Tickets are now on sale for the lecture of Judge Llndsey, which will be hold here on the night of October 22, under the auspices of the Ladies Aid Society of the Baptist Church. The "Boys' Judge" will give but six lectures In Pennsylvania this fall, and the enterprising ladies of the Baptist Aid Society got in on the ground floor and secured a date for Punxsutawney. Judge Llndsey will come to this place from Pittsburg. NCHEASE NUMBER OF CADETS There yet remained twelve thousand scats to bo sold thin morning, but tb.it number will not come anywhere m ar supplying; tho crowd. The gates of tho fiark opened at ten o'clock and tho crowd poured in, quickly filling every available seat. The crowd of baseball enthusiasts spent tho time prior to the game in songs and giving vent to yells for their favorites. Tremendous crowds are pouring into the city, ind it is expected that from fifty to seventy-flve thousand persons will be turned away from the park gates. The Detroit rooters are he-uled by Mayor Hreltmeyer. and Governor Warner, of Michigan, is also a member of the party. It is assured that Mullln will pitch for Detroit, but today Willis is mentioned a.s the Pittsburg twlrler, Instead of Adams. At ten o'clock the gates opened, and there was a rush for seats. the p.irk Both managers are confident of their respective teams taking the first games. 1AH NEXT TO NATURE Tho bride is an accomplished young lady of great popularity in her home town. Mr. Sutter, who is a son of Lafayette Sutter, of Indiana, is employed by the Rugh Manufacturing Company, of Kane, which place tinyoung coujde will mke their home.

TO DROP 8 MIDSHIPMEN SENATOR OLIVER DENIES IT WASHINGTON, Oct. 8—Less than thirty-nine per cent, of the whole number of officers in the United States army are graduates of West Point military academy and each graduating class is about eighty short of the number necessary to officer the army. These facts will form the basis of an effort to be made next winter by the president and secretary of war to induce congress to increase by 125, the number of cadets to be appointed to the academy every three years instead of every four years as at present. The big tubers were raised on the jfarm of John Patchen, who has several hiTndred bushels, running about 250 bushels to the acre. The largest poitato Mr. Patchen dug from his patch Inveighed 4 3-4 pounds. • Nearly every farm<4* in the vicinity of Btfrnside has a similar crop of potatoes. one farmer having three thousand bushels for sale. The variety is I known to the residents of that section as the "White Elephant". Tho crop in the vicinity of Burnside would be considered remarkable for a full year, but considering that this is generally conceded as an off year for potatoes, the crop there is nothing short of marvelous. Mr. C'ondron states that the eight are far from being the largest potatoes grown in that vicinity. The tubers brought here were picked from the top of a bin containing about fifteen hundred bushels, and all were nearly as large as the ones exhibited—some of them larger. Crop In (lie Vicinity of Burnslclc Nothing: Short ot Mn rveloiis—-One Tuber Weighs 41 3-4 Pounds.

R. & P. railroad company Is buying up a large lot of ■ties throughout that section, one man of East Mahoning having taken a contract to furnish 10,000. The Independent believes that the [company will construct a huge plant at Cloe for the treating of ties to a !creosote bath, which it has been provtfi prolongs their life considerably.

Club, of this place, I which consists of twenty-two young ladles, last night opened their social se iMoa with a dance in Zeitler's Hall. Twenty-five couples wei'c present and from nine until one o'clock they danced, with the Graff Brothers furnishing the best of music for t!i«* occasion.

TOUR LAST CHANCE The matter is now under advisement with Mr. Corhctt, of Brookville, the company's solicitor, and tin- commltteemen from council hope to reach an agreement In the near future. If no agreement is reached, the council will go ahend and build tin' bridge and institute proceedings to recover half of tin- cost from the company. The Bubeck addition residents who agreed to construct the approach between the overhead and the county bridges, are being held up, owing to the fact that the work cannot be done until the overhead bridge is constructed, giving them access with teams for hauling in the material. Solicitor Gillespie cites an act of assembly which compels the railroad company to pay half the cost of the bridge. The council could build i|%<• bridge and compel the railroad company to pay half, but the borough lawmakers wish to have an amicable agreement with the company before the building of the bridge is started, thus avoiding a suit. The residents of the Bubeek addition are patiently awaiting the time when the bridge recently constructed across Mahoning Creek, connecting that addition with the town prosper, will be made accessible for driving. Council agreed to have tin- overhead bridge up when the county tinixhed the construction of the bridge and has been endeavoring to get something done.

SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 8—This Is something about a big yield of apples in the Wenatehee valley, in central Washington, where L. W. Smith has an acre orchard which will net him $-.000 this season. The trees, nine years old, are of the Wineaap variety. His holding is confined to four acres of bearing treesi which yielded $3,3(i5 worth of fruit in 1908 and $3,500 worth the previous season. He has left 120 trees bearing Winesaps, which will yield from 12 to 15 boxes each; 40 Mammoth Black Twigs, each cropping from 10 to 12 boxes and 40 trees bearing Hen Davis apples, which 111 yield not less than five boxes each. There are numerous small orchards in the same valley which made relatively good showings, none so high as the Smith tract. SeW-ral orchardfsts in the Yakima valley also report exeep-' tionally large yields, but on the whole the crop in Washington, and in fact, the Northwest, is short, though the apples are of excellent color ami size, thus making up the losses by increased market values.

After a month of that, I got a better place, as office boy with a mining company, at a salary of twenty-live dollars a month. And finally my younger brothelr found work in a law office, and I 'swapped jobs' with him—because 1 wished to study law!" THREE CLASSES GAVE DRILL AT IM. C. A.
